Any one for tea?!!!

Can't believe it has taken two days of printing,cutting and sticking to make so few cards and wrapping papers! This design is heavily influenced by my time in Hong Kong/ China.  The tea set I have drawn is a traditional one that I bought all those years ago.

Please note the inspirational vintage tea card is 'Refreshing Tea' by Martin Wiscombe (copyright) and published by Tom Dickens Fine Art. I have not used any element of the image in my design !!!

I am looking at items that follow my projects' Oriental theme, but that are linked to archetypical themes and inventions.
China was developed by the Chinese and green tea is grown and drunk by them (black tea comes from India) It is very popular currently, as an aid to health.  Lapsang Suchong (sp.!!!??) has been enjoyed for many years by those in 'the know'.

I was lucky enough to visit a tea commune, whilst visiting mainland  China many years ago .  A lovely young tea picker let me take her photograph so, all these years later, I thought I would use it for one of my cards.

I am looking at including a sensory element to one of the images in each of my card collections, if possible. This is so partially sighted people can enjoy also receiving  greetings cards. So my little Chinese girl's, picture has been printed on tea stained 'tea leaf', hand made tissue (smell and texture). Behind the tiny tea pot is a jasmine tea bag (taste) for the recipient of the card to enjoy! This is because the tea that I saw picked was dried and mixed with jasmine blossoms. I hope the card can be smelt, tasted and felt for enjoyment of the image when sight is restricted!
